This got me thinking about how in the world of digital pre-vis<\/a> and animatics we might be losing the art of the storyboard<\/strong> in favor of digital means, although I hope we’re not. \u00a0 In this post, I’ll share three great examples from the long history of the art and craft of the film storyboard.<\/p>\n

The Yards<\/h3>\n

The following video is a great behind-the-scenes featurette in which director James Gray (The Yards,<\/em> We Own The Night<\/em>) talks through several of his ‘water colour storyboards’ and how they connect to the sequences in the film. Its also a great opportunity to see director of photography Harris Savides’ lighting tests and how they correlate with Gray’s storyboards and the final film.<\/p>\n
